Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Joaquin Valley - Hanford CA
200 PM PST Mon Jan 9 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Much of the next 5 days will be mild and wet as additional storm
systems track inland from the Pacific.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Unsettled weather continues across the Central California Interior
as yet another storm moves into the region. While lingering
convective showers will continue this afternoon, the next major
storm will enter Northern California on Tuesday. In the meanwhile,
the previous storm did manage to dump 3 to 4 inches of water
equivalent rain and snow across the Sierra Nevada with a third to
three quarters of an inch across the San Joaquin Valley. The
latest upper air observations from Oakland and Vandenberg both
show a drop in precip-water values from their near all-time highs
on January 8th. Vandenberg was still a bit high at 0.88 of an inch
which matches up with the southward shift of the atmospheric river
plume. Blended precip-water imagery showed the plume over
currently over Southern California and lining-up well with the
cold frontal passage through the district early this morning.
Therefore, will only expect lingering showers to continue before
the next event.

Short range models showing a zonal flow pattern aloft over the
west ahead of another short-wave trof aiming for California on
Tuesday. While not much precipitation accumulation is expected in
the next 24 hours, another atmospheric river moisture plume will
hit Central California by mid-day Tuesday. Current ensemble models
show precipitation starting as early as 4 am PST, but with low
confidence. Model confidence increases toward having a start time
closer to midday in the Merced area. While models precip-water
does show another plume headed for Central California on Tuesday,
models do show the plume fading before arriving onto the West
Coast. Therefore, models do pick-up on the lowered precipitation
accumulation with the next storm. In addition, due a a westerly
track, rain shadowing may occur over the West side of the San
Joaquin Valley and the Valley portion of Kern County. Yet, with
all the precipitation already accumulated, flooding will remain a
concern across Central California. Flood related products will
remain in effect through the period.

While precipitation may start during the day on Tuesday, the bulk
of heavy precip from the next storm is currently progged to occur
between 4 pm Tuesday and 4 am PST Wednesday. By Tuesday afternoon,
models prog a +130knot jet max to reside over the region and
providing for adequate dynamic lift. In addition, the surface cold
front will begin pushing through Central California starting late
Tuesday afternoon. This push will increase precipitation rates
during the early hours. Based on current model precipitation
accumulation analysis, will opt to keep the Winter Storm Warning
in effect for the Sierra Nevada as snow levels lower to near 6000
feet. Upper air observations already show freezing level
approaching the 6000 foot mark. Therefore, the potential exist for
lower snow levels with the next storm as 12 to 16 more inches of
snow may accumulate by Wednesday morning. Models show another a
stronger disturbance pushing through closer to Friday. Will deal
with current events for now and begin messaging the uncertainty of
the next few storms by the start of the work-week. Therefore, will
reformulate what the impacts will be with the later storms and
issue the appropriate statements.

&&

.AVIATION...
Mountain obscurations over the Sierra Nevada and the Tehachapi
Mountains in clouds and Scattered precipitation for the next 24
hours. MVFR in ceilings and mist with patchy IFR in fog in the San
Joaquin Valley after 10Z Tuesday. VFR condiitons across the Kern
County Deserts.

None.
